YOU ARE STILL THE ONE

CHAPTER-9

My eyes shot opened as the morning sunlight pierced through the sheets. The clock showed 8:15 am. Oh my God! I had literally slept for the whole day. I got into the shower and freshened up. Got into a pink wrap midi with white flower ear studs. Tied my hair into a french plait and got into white sneakers. I didn't put much efforts in make up, just applied a layer of black kajol as my eyes looked dull even after those many hours of sleep. Grabbed my bag and headed down.

"Hey!" I chirped as Naira hopped onto the scooter. There was no reply.

"Nay? Is everything alright?"

"Yeah, obviously."

"I don't think so, I know something's wrong, I felt that yesterday too."

"Shut up! If you would have felt that way then you would have called me right after I disconnected the call." She said and went straight towards her class without looking back.

I saw Mia already sitting in the class.

"I could have picked you up on my way, it slipped out of my mind."

"Aaye chuck it. Here have this." She said handing over a jumbo cucumber mayo sandwich.

"You are an angel, this is what I wanted." I munched hungrily as I hadn't eaten anything since yesterday. 

"Make sure the sir doesn't catch you." She spoke with her mouth full of nugget.

"I need to go through some books for my History project, do you have any idea where the Library is?" I asked as we walked through the aisle. 

"I guess the next block."

"Eek! This is so cute!" This squeal would have irritated anyone. To see where this came from, I turned around to see a familiar face. She was the same girl from Aman's group who was sticking to him like a lost puppy the other day. She stood with her back pressed against a boy's chest, as they stood checking something on the phone. As my eyes travelled to the boy's face, I realized this face was similar too. As soon as he noticed me he pushed away the girl.

"What's wrong babe?' She asked mystified.

"Wait a moment Cheril." He told and came towards me.

"Hey Anaya, you here?" He asked trying to sound casual but eventually failing.

"I guess I shouldn't be." I replied in a sulky tone.

"Babe you are just overthinking, Cheril and me are just friends."

"Whoa! Where did that come from? Did I even ask about it?" I replied raising my brow.

"No, I thought the way you were looking at me.." he started but I cut him off.

"I gotta go, it's getting late." and started walking.

"OK, let's meet in break." He shouted from back.

"I don't know, I might be busy."

"Ana? Who is he?" It had completely left my brain that Mia was with me all along. I dont know why her presence didn't make a difference, I mean because of her height, xp. I ignored her question and sat at a reading table. My mind was all fucked up. I sat there flickering pages not able to concentrate on anything. All I could think was Aman with that bitch. How close they were with each other. By seeing their behavior, no body on this earth can say they were 'just friends'. I had no clue what to do. I thought of speaking with Naira during break. 

"Mia I wanna have a convo with Naira, so heading towards the cafeteria. Wanna come along?"

"Umm.. I have some stuff to complete, just grab a donut on the way back." She replied her eyes glued to the big screen in front of her.
